A tax judge and a tax consultant ended up together with two other people in the shirts of the Brescia Finance Police who, during the night, carried out the precautionary measure of house arrest. The investigation concerns episodes of corruption in judicial acts linked to a tax evasion system for an amount exceeding 90 thousand euros. In addition, 34 searches were carried out in the companies involved in the provinces of Brescia, Milan, Bergamo, Cremona, Novara, Modena and Bologna.

The investigative investigations arose after a check by the military in August two years ago in a Brescia company, which was a total evader for the years from 2013 to 2019: it had issued false invoices for about 12 million euros towards numerous companies in the north. Italy.

After examining the financial flows, frauds emerged that involved the masking of the illicit origin of tax evasion proceeds also through the purchase of over 17 million euros in chips used in the casinos of Venice, Campione d'Italia, Sanremo and Saint Vincent.

In June 2020, the Fiamme Gialle entered the industrial pavilion of one of the companies involved, seizing a total of over 779 thousand euros in cash, hidden among the roof beams, in a forklift and a lawnmower. The entrepreneur was arrested in the act of crime for inciting corruption, having offered the financiers all the cash found at that time, around 70,000 euros, to stop the search for further banknotes.

Finance then came to a tax consultant in Milan which the suspects used to design and implement the fraud. The Prosecutor then ordered the search of all the places available to him, including an office leased to a company administered by a tax magistrate of the Lombardy Regional Tax Commission. During the activity, various documents concerning a tax case that had closed in 2019 with a sentence in favor of a company attributable to the Brescia suspects, for a value of 255,000 euros of unpaid taxes, were seized. In that context, the consultant had the role of defender of the taxpayer, and the magistrate that of Judge Rapporteur. The resulting financial investigations made it possible to identify numerous transfers of money from the favored company in the case to the tax consultant, subsequently conveyed to companies represented by the tax judge.
